When fanteenies attack!!
This is . . . oh wow. And it's a mailing list on yahoogroups, but the membership is open for those of stout enough heart to brave the depths of wank. Relevant posts and explanations are behind the cut.
Okay, so. In the beleaguered Monkees fandom there is a girl named Jennifer. She's been wanked before and is your classic hysterical, screaming, utterly grammarless, wanky fangirl who is desperate to appear important—since she doesn't have BNF status dammit she's going to MAKE it on her own with baling wire and twine.
So she has a mailing list called freedommonkeesspot (which is what she finallly settled on after changing it about six damn times), which bills itself as "An Offical Monkees Club!" (Still trying to figure out what "Offical" means . . . )
One of Jennifer's (she goes by "Judy" on her list) main activities is to brag about how she knows Peter Tork, was going to be his biographer (yeah, that's good for a half hour laugh when you see how she writes), and likes to respond to her detractors with threats that she's going to tell Peter all about the MEEN people. Yeah. So she posts to the list that she received an email from Peter himself, but wouldn't tell anyone what it said. (Not that she's ever able to back up anything she ever says.)
The claim immediately piques the attention of "Nesorkithenz," who writes: I do want to email him. I really do. I am so desparate to get his email address and send him an email.
This isn't a new claim; many many people have desired to find out how to contact the guys, which is stupid since every single one has a fan address and Nez puts his email on his site, videoranch.com. Email addresses are generally reserved for the more dedicated fans whom the guys know and trust. I have Peter's email myself and wouldn't give it to anyone.
Several people onlist tell Nesorkithenz this, but apparently it's only taunting her, because her posts become more desperate:
"i don't care if he responds or not, i want to email him."
"could somebody just tell me Peter's email address and get it overwith already, that's all i am asking. please"
"Look, how are we supposed to get his email address if people won't tell us. we are true Monkees fans and we want to know that information. I know Mike's email address. If I knew Peter's too, i would give that out unless he said specifically to me to not give it out."
At this point it behooves me to mention that Peter DOES tell people not to give it out. They do anyway, but some of us do respect his wishes.
Nesorkithenz the wanker apparently doesn't, for after several more "Sorry, but Peter has a right to his privacy" posts, she comes splooging forth with this:
"fine, but you know what you guys are? you guys are stupid because from one Monkees fan to another, you can't even give me what I want. whether Peter said to give it out or not. I am leaving this group because i can't take all of the bullshit. i have my own group now too. you are only allowed in it if you give me Peter's email address and if you find my group. bye."
Wow. Never saw that one coming . . . and now I'm off to obsessively search for this group and give her a bum email addy bed.
ETA: Annnnd . . . she's still on the list! Demanding to know why I'm making fun of her, heh.
